In December 2021 the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (formally known as MHCLG) published updates to the building regulations which included the introduction of AD-O. Here’s our take.
Our collaborative Carter Bronze medal-winning research paper ‘Predictions of summertime overheating: comparison of dynamic thermal models and measurements in synthetically occupied test houses’ features in the September 2020 CIBSE Journal.
Inkling have been awarded the prestigious CIBSE Carter Bronze medal for research into summertime overheating prediction in UK homes.
Consultation on GHA project – your help appreciated by 14 December 2018
The tender panel were impressed by the winning bid team’s pertinent experience, well thought-through methodology and enthusiasm for the project.
Best practice members met on 17th January 2018 to discuss the conundrum of balancing the need to mitigate overheating risk in homes with the competing requirement to maintain a comfortable internal acoustic environment.
We wanted to do some digging to understand what’s happening with the new version of BB101 and what impact it may have on modelling for schools.
Inkling are very proud to have been involved in the writing of the new CIBSE TM59 Design methodology for the assessment of overheating risk in homes.
This blog offers our thoughts on the impact of weather file selection on modelling domestic overheating risk.
Inkling recently co-authored a Zero Carbon Hub publication on assessing overheating in dwellings. This document describes the methodologies and tools currently available for the prediction of overheating risk in dwellings in England and Wales, and poses a challenge to improve on them. The key points highlighted in the report are: – The results obtained from modelling
Inkling have contributed to this report recently published by the Zero Carbon Hub. Why does overheating happen? How can the construction and energy efficiency sector prevent the issue getting worse? What can local and national governments do to support the housing sector? And why does it matter? The report can be downloaded here.
